Differentiation for Inclusion: Practical Strategies for Scottish Classrooms

The General Teaching Council for Scotland (2021) highlights differentiation as central to effective planning to meet learners’ needs (Standard 3.1.1). 
But here’s the big question many teachers quietly ask themselves: 
“How can I teach a diverse range of learners in my class?” 
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. For over four decades, research has shown that differentiation remains one of the biggest challenges teachers face – whether newly qualified or highly experienced. 
At its heart, differentiation is about belief. The belief that all children can succeed. Like inclusion, it is a philosophy as much as practice, and it asks us to think deeply about how we plan, adapt, and respond in ways that bring every learner into the centre of the classroom experience. 
This short online course will: 
✅ Explore the advantages and limitations of a range of differentiation models 
✅ Support reflection and professional dialogue on what truly inclusive differentiation looks like in practice 
✅ Offer practical tools to help you plan and adapt without overwhelming your workload 
✅ Encourage critical thinking around whether our choices include or unintentionally exclude learners 
Join me for an evening of fresh ideas, reflection, and practical strategies to help you meet the diverse needs of your learners – while keeping teaching sustainable and inclusive.
